So what are you suggesting? High cams, high revving engine? Possible but gotta do a lot of work leh sweat.gif The safest bet is supercharger lah. For me, driven a City before, the car is quite zippy to start with flex.gif

it is zippy as the engine is designed to give you maximum torque at 2.5k rpm.
thats why when your tyres botak it is quite easy to do wheel spins sweat.gif
but it doesn't really have any high-end power as a trade-off.
really fast moving thru from 0-120kmh after that its pretty sedated.
don't think you can convert it into a high revver as it is not designed to do so.

Sri Utama give free car wash ka? ... I duno leh ... alwiz hav2 pay 1 if wanted to wash ... dun really know a lot of ppl there ma ... the guy who attended to me was Liu i think ... sumtimes this Muzafar guy ... But shud oso free car wash hor ... RM450 man!!! moneyflies.gif

BTW, I didnt get my car frm them oso ... Not like Taiko myDelsol ... sampai GM layan notworthy.gif

The aircon blower filter is duno wat carbon filter. They say its bcoz the "Ambipur" liquid got sucked in n it had an acid effect towards the filter worr so hav2 replace new 1 and this item is not in the "warranty" list ...

Aircon servicing usually I heard they charge so I went ahead lo. Dammit ... now have to eat bread for 1 whole month! Shake the Pepsi and subtitutes is as the champagne for new year ...

The LOW down so far after collecting the "new CVT" replaced City Vtec:-

so for my wife has NOT complained any sort of lags/jerking problems while out on the compulsory lunch time drive out with her staffs. rclxms.gif and she did say
slightly feel better(u know woman drivers lar, all the same wan) whistling.gif

To answer some of the questions:-

Yes, my car was bought on Sept 2004, current mileage, 40655km,
warranty expiry is Sept 2007 after that, koyak....
low mileage due to daily driven by wife only, weekends use other car thumbup.gif

Yes I know the GM of the company personally, I also know the CEO/MD/COO and Marketing Manager of Honda Malaysia as well, BUT that does not mean anything cuz at the end of the day, Im just another regular client of theirs with a complaint icon_rolleyes.gif

my advise to all City 2004 owners be it IDSI/Vtec get your car thoroughly checked
BEFORE you hit your 40,000 FREE service or 3rd year warranty, cuz i doubt
any of us here would like to fork out RM17K for the gearbox!!!

my last statement above, does not intend to scare off anyone be it new or
current owners, am just advising only wokey tongue.gif

p/s my new picture is actually me, test driving the new BMW Z4, cool
car, wayyyy to expensive....but wat a drive....hit 260 sap sap suiiii thumbup.gif

How to check the car properly? Any significant sign of the CVT wearing off?

P/S : I'm still waiting for my new City Vtec to arrive, ask this Q simply because I want to know more, or could it be too busy body? Haha....

Perhaps too much revving on 7speed mode will kill CVT faster brows.gif
